Asking Calgary Chamber/Alberta Business Council About Climate Science - Charlie Angus MP

[@richardcarruthers7932]

How are they supposed to make any meaningful progress if the representatives from the Oil and gas industry can't even agree that the problem exists?

[@richardcarruthers7932]

It's like getting "big tobacco" to concede that their product causes cancer. But so what right? It's also wildly addictive, so they'll keep buying it even if it's killing them. I completely understand why Charlie has no time for their bullshit. The planet is burning NOW, we can't wait for them to study the issue for another 25 years.

[@whiskeytango9769]

They know the problem exists...the problem is that the solutions proposed by the extremists will not work.

[@richardcarruthers7932]

@@whiskeytango9769 Says who? Seriously how would you know what works and what doesn't? It was a yes or no question.

[@timmytwodogs]

@@richardcarruthers7932 Let's hear your solution then.

[@robballantyne9915]

@@whiskeytango9769 the solutions proposed by OilCo (sequestering) don't work either and OilCo wants the taxpayer to pay for it. How about paying your original royalties set when there was significant risk in the projects first.

Well they're not answering the question. They're responding, but that's not the same as answering the question. Well done, Charlie, let the fools show their foolishness.

[@Johnny.bar99]

Yedlin was about to agree, but they didn’t let her talk lol

[@carolion48]

No wonder we’re in serious trouble. These experts can’t even make the link between fossil fuels and climate emergency.

[@chaseb6299]

They know damn well, they also understand the liability of admitting it in such an official capacity.

[@beauericlieu]

I think it's a "won't" rather than a "can't ".

[@Sunny-j5y]

As a women I am terrifed.

[@ddhqj2023]

Because you are thinking about the future of our children and grandchildren and theirs after them. We care.

[@loritherrien2041]

Of what exactly? It's not clear.

[@ddhqj2023]

@@loritherrien2041 She's terrified of the coming disruption to our climate as it is going to impact migration of humans, water and food availability, sea levels which will thousands of coastal cities ($$$$$), ever worsening floods, rainfalls, hurricanes, typhoons, loss of wildlife, changes to weather and climate mitigating ocean currents....there is much to be afraid of if one's concerned about humanities future. Having spent years reading about what climate change will do if we don't quit burning fossil fuels, I'm concerned too and considering the apathy of most of humanity on this score, I feel pretty much hopeless. It's going to be bad.

[@timmytwodogs]

Get over yourself.

[@ddhqj2023]

@@timmytwodogs So why are you so dismissive of other people's feelings? As women/mothers/grandmothers....we're absolutely entitled to be concerned about the future of the world as our kids and grandkids will live in it. The fact that you don't care what they have to live through only suggests that you're the one with issues. Like lack of empathy, lack of consideration for others, lack of interest in the future of our beautiful planet....just for starters.

[@awineguy4715]

He asked for "yes or no" and they refused and then spent their time complaining about the question and implied his request for brevity was sexist. Pathetic responses from industry paid shills

The witnesses are doing their best Sgt. Schultz impressions just like on the old comedy series Hogans Heroes. I have to admit I never heard Sgt Schultz say the phrase ‘multifactorial’ . I guess it’s more like the movie ‘Don’t Look Up’.

[@maureenwagg5305]

They are refusing to commit to an answer. They know the truth. Well done, Charlie.

[@robhoneyman3974]

Awesome .that sums it up . Alberta your a huge problem .

[@loritherrien2041]

Even the moderator can't sit or get off the pot. Is it okay for the "powerful women" to over speak Mr. Angus? Apparently so.

[@jimvalin75]

Good stuff Charlie 😅

[@Boomsterblak]

charlie...awesome..yes the planet is warming...yes fossil fuels contribute...many other things as well...we have to address them all...moratoriums are not an answer...we should be doing everything we can...set the example..be a world leader..not a world denier or whiner...Thank you Charlie.

[@brewsdalton6243]

Please elaborate, give a few examples of those other things, preferably with evidence. Milankovitch cycles? NASA says no. Animal agriculture (methane from cows)? Sure but additive to fossil fuel methane.
